Plea for man pages



Hi friends!

There are still some man pages missing from the texlive packages. I have
written man pages for
	bibtex8, devnag, ps4pdf, simpdftex
	altpdf* (only mentions that it is deprecated and how to invoke)
	getnonfreefonts-sys (link to getnonfreefonts.1)
	perltex (via pod2man)
	musixflx (taken from Andreas Tille)
	pdfopen, pdfclose (done by Frank)
I am still missing:
                aleph
                lamed
                        copies of omega/lambda and adaption?
                otangle
			no idea what the difference to tangle is
			but the invocation is different
                pdfcrop
                        no idea
                pkfix
                        help2man does not work, otherwise easy as it 
			has a nice help page (--help)
                texconfig-dialog
                        easy, just relate to texconfig and say gui
So if someone wants to spend a few minutes writing up some of these man
pages I would be happy. Myself I don't have much time the next 5 days so
won't be able to do this stuff.

Best wishes and thanks a lot

Norbert
